This Unit has been developed with assistance from the Office of Environment & Heritage (OEH), and the Association of the Studies of Religion (ASR). A small writing team was formed. Writing team: Catholic Sustainable Schools Network – Sue Martin (St Ignatius’ College, Riverview) & Anne Lanyon (Columban Mission Institute) New South Wales Office of Environment & Heritage – Mark Caddey Association of the Studies of Religion –Louise Zavone Catholic Mission - Beth Riolo Catholic Education Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn - Kim-Maree Goodwin Loreto College Normanhurst - Libby Parker Marist Sisters College Woolwich - Andrew Dumas Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta - Natalie White St Patrick’s Campbelltown Campbelltown - Maria Boulatsakos Project Background This resource provides up-to-date material for students and teachers wanting to engage with the Environmental Ethics component of the Studies of Religion Course. The nature of Christian Environmental Ethics is evolving in the context of the signs of the times. With the publication by Pope Francis on 24th May, 2015 of the first Encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si”, official Catholic Teaching on Environmental Ethics is taking a new direction. Catholic environmental teaching is moving from an anthropocentric position to a perspective of universal communion. As with Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestant variants are continuing to develop and provide guidance to their adherence in the forms of teachings and official documents.
